奥斯汀·萨拉特是安默斯特学院的法律学教授，也是《骇人场面：处决失误与美国的死刑》一书的作者。该书是其所在领域的重要参考著作，分析了自1890年以来美国的处决失误。在一次采访中，他讨论了9月30日（星期三）在田纳西州对克里斯塔·派克执行死刑的尝试及其后果。
Austin Sarat, a law professor at Amherst College, is the author of the book Gruesome Spectacles: Botched Executions and America's Death Penalty, a reference in its field, in which he analyzes botched executions in the United States since 1890. In an interview, he discussed the attempted execution of Christa Pike in Tennessee on Wednesday, September 30, and its consequences. Is Christa Pike's case unique compared to other botched executions in US history?
与美国历史上其他处决失误相比，克里斯塔·派克的案子是否独树一帜？
Botched executions in the US are, unfortunately, quite common, but it's extremely rare that someone survives.
遗憾的是，处决失误在美国相当常见，但被执行者能够生还的情况极为罕见。自1946年以来，美国已有九人在处决尝试中生还。派克是自注射刑成为主要处决方式以来，第一个被实际注入原本用于杀死她的致死药物剂量后仍然生还的人[在接受了两次巴比妥类药物注射之后]。这是美国死刑史，乃至注射刑使用史上一个非凡且史无前例的时刻。她的处决失误是否暴露了这种具体处决方式存在根本性缺陷？
Since 1946, nine people in the US have survived an execution attempt. Pike is the first person, in the time that lethal injection has been the primary method of execution, who actually received the dose of the lethal drugs that were intended to kill her and survived [after two injections of barbiturates]. It's an extraordinary and unprecedented moment in the history of the death penalty in the US, and certainly in the history of the use of lethal injection. Does her botched execution expose a fundamental flaw in this specific method? You have 81.77% of this article left to read.
